Kirk finally realized: "So this is what God Amun prompted! This is the Romans' sinister plan! They are going to blow up all the Nile water conservancy facilities and release the barrier lakes that have been stored over the years. Let's do something.
Flood the city wall, and then use the power of the giant ship to destroy the water gate in one go!"
Cleopatra was also shocked by this terrible sight: "If that were the case, there would indeed be no need to wait until the Nile River flooded. But that would destroy the entire city and turn it into a swamp. Wouldn't the Romans want this city?"
Kirk gritted his teeth and said: "Have you seen what Antony did? How can they still be human if they can use the people as human shields? This city is guarding the Romans' entry into the hinterland of Egypt. If it cannot be captured, the Romans will not be able to control it.
Egypt. They want to destroy everything!"
Cleopatra burst into tears. The Romans were going to destroy the city and exterminate the nation. This prospect was too terrible.
Kirk closed his eyes and said: "This idea is too complicated. Anthony probably can't think of such a sophisticated tactic. It should be Octavian. This kid is ruthless enough. But now that we have figured it out, how should we deal with it?"
Cleopatra smiled bitterly: "It's unthinkable. If it were normal days, we could still mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to build water diversions and distribute the water to other places. But now, I'm afraid it's too late. Oh my God, look east.
shore!"
Kirk looked towards the east bank and found that Octavian's army had begun to quietly dismantle the tents of the military camp and gradually retreated to the higher ground behind them. They were doing so very covertly. If Kirk and the two had not been intentional, they would not have been able to detect anything unusual. Besides, what if?
Without intelligence, even if it is discovered that the troops are withdrawing, they will probably not be suspicious. What's wrong with the enemy's withdrawal?
"Oops!" Kirk shouted: "Since Octavian wants to retreat, he must be prepared."
He rolled his eyes and called Xiaopang on the team channel: "See if anything is wrong with Ximen? Has Anthony retreated?"
Xiaopang replied: "No, Anthony hasn't made any movement. He is still preparing weapons for the afternoon siege."
Kirk smiled: "It seems there is still some time. Although Octavian was cruel, he was not bold enough to dare to bury Antony and 200,000 Romans together. Antony's camp was not far from the river.
Alexandria was destroyed. He was definitely doomed. Octavian would probably notify Antony at the last minute, embarrassing him."
Cleopatra said anxiously: "But now that Octavian has retreated, the flood plan will be launched in at least half a day. Night is the best time to use the flood to hit the city gate, creating enough chaos and panic to open the door.
City gate."
Kirk thought for a while: "Since the Nile River floods regularly, sometimes the flooding scale must be larger than in previous years, and the city of Alexandria was built at the delta of this huge river entering the sea. Are there any flood drainage measures?"
Cleopatra said: "The reason why 13 water gates were built is to facilitate the city to drain floods. The city does have many waterways that can lead to the Mediterranean. But if the dam is blown up and the flood floods, it will be enough to wash away the water.
In most cities, giant ships charge down. They can even crash into the water gates and rush into the city."
Kirk carefully observed the water potential of the Nile River at the south gate, and found that before the water reached the delta, it was already racing and jumping, extremely fierce. But after the bifurcation, the two water volumes separated, and the water potential became gentle.
Kirk said decisively: "For today's plan, we can only treat a dead horse as a live doctor. Take action immediately! Mobilize all the trebuchets and throw a ton of boulders at the south gate. We will wait until dark to build a breakwater! Let's
The floods of the Nile are diverted from both sides!”
Cleopatra said: "Fortunately, today we collected thousands of tons of boulders from under the city wall. Throwing these boulders at the south gate can build a dam, but a dam of this level can block the flood of the Nile River."
?Have you never seen the spectacular scene when the Nile River floods?"
Kirk said: "You can only treat a dead horse as a living horse, so act quickly!"
Cleopatra immediately deployed, and the entire city of Alexandria immediately mobilized. The trebuchets at the south gate were ready, and a lot of boulders were thrown under the city wall by Antony. Hundreds of trebuchets were started at the same time, which was faster than modern engineering.
The machinery is even more efficient. In a few hours, thousands of tons of boulders have been thrown and a stone breakwater has been built.
After the stones stopped, the Egyptian army and civilians mobilized hundreds of thousands of civilians, pulling small carts and carrying them on their shoulders and hands, and began a large-scale construction plan. Octavian had already retreated and could not send troops to stop it. Antony did not know the inside story and thought that the Egyptians were idle.
, just stepped up their attack on Ximen, without any intention of attacking.
Kirk was not polite and ordered Cleopatra to demolish all useless houses to strengthen the breakwater. The Egyptian residents were united and united, and demolished their houses one after another and transported them to the construction site.
Cleopatra personally commanded in the rain. When it comes to building this huge siege, Egyptian engineers are experts. With sufficient manpower and material resources, it only took a mere six hours, just before dark.
It formed a breakwater more than 600 meters long and 15 or 6 meters high. The lower part was built with boulders and the upper part was reinforced with logs and mud.
Just as Kirk was sweating profusely with the migrant workers, he suddenly felt a tremor on the ground!
"The enemy has taken action! Come on!" Kirk shouted while leaning a thick log against the breakwater.
Knowing that this was the last moment, many migrant workers rushed to pile all the materials in their hands to the river. Then, under the command of Cleopatra, they slowly retreated into the city.
At the same time, in front of city water gates everywhere, densely packed sharpened logs were installed diagonally upward at 45 degrees, forming the shape of horses. Once the Roman giant ships went down the river, they would be penetrated by these horses.
Turn over for protection.
"We have done everything we can, and the rest can only depend on fate." Kirk hugged Cleopatra and said, "You have to promise me that if things are absolutely necessary, you must follow me.
You are not allowed to die here. The restoration of Egypt depends on you."
Cleopatra stared at Kirk with her beautiful eyes and nodded vigorously: "I know. We have tried our best for the Egyptian people. You have sacrificed a lot and taken a lot of risks. For you, I can't give up either. I am willing to follow
You go to the ends of the earth."
Kirk was greatly relieved. No matter whether this operation was successful or not, Cleopatra finally figured it out. As long as this beautiful person followed her, the success or failure of Egypt was not that important.
He and Cleopatra were connected and were about to kiss, but they felt the ground shake again!
Obviously, this was the Romans blowing up the second dike again. The calculations of these Romans were really precise. As soon as the first wave of flood reached the second dike, it was blown up again. Superimposing the two flood peaks, the water volume and
The impact is even more terrifying!
It seemed that the two heartless ones were Voronos and Prolo. Kirk gritted his teeth. These two people were already Octavian's right-hand men. He really didn't know whether to thank them for helping him complete the main mission or call them ungrateful.
But the tremors on the ground were already very obvious. Kirk quickly carried Cleopatra to a higher place and returned to the Pharaoh's golden palace.
The two stood on the railing of the Golden Palace, looking into the distance. They found that the situation was worse than they imagined!
In the far south, where the water and sky are the same color, the Nile River, which has shrunk due to the dry season, has become turbulent. A white wave, more than ten meters high, is rushing towards Alexandria like a galloping horse!
Countless huge waves followed endlessly behind. One wave was higher than the other, crashing over me!
This is Octavian's ultimate plan!
Use huge waves to destroy the water gate and city walls of Alexandria, and then use warships to rush into the city!
As long as the walls of this legendary city are breached by floods, it is only a matter of time before the city falls.
Kirk saw that Antony's legion was already retreating to higher ground in a panic, not even caring about equipment such as trebuchets and tents. Apparently, he was notified by Octavian at the last moment. They retreated in a hurry to the higher ground.
high places.
Kirk turned his attention to the flood again and couldn't help but curse.
It turns out that Octavian had already figured everything out! Not only did he explode three dams and pile up huge waves, he also painstakingly dropped a lot of logs!
These logs, weighing several tons when held together by one person, turned into the most terrifying siege cones under the impact speed of the flood at tens of meters per second. Once the logs flowed down the river at high speed, they would form a huge siege when they hit the city gates and water gates.
Destructive power!
Watching the gentle Nile turn into a roaring death in an instant, rolling in tens of millions of tons of water from the sky, swallowing up all obstacles in an instant, charging forward like a lion. Cleopatra’s alluring face
Turning white, he quickly knelt down and prayed: "God Amun, please help us. I have never seen the Nile become as violent as it is today. Please save us."
Kirk was originally very confident in the breakwater built in six hours and the epic city wall of Alexandria, but now that things have happened, he is no longer so sure.
He suddenly thought of a way to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Kirk took Cleopatra with a flash, another [jump], and appeared at the wall of the south gate like flying!
The [Poseidon's Tide] on his waist suddenly activated the [Whirlpool] stunt!
This skill that Pompey relied on once again appeared on the front line of the roar of the Nile!
At this time, the first huge wave of the Nile River has reached a height of more than 20 meters, forming an extremely tall white devil! In the face of such a destructive force, all resistance seems pale and feeble! Countless huge logs, ferocious in the giant
The waves surge and rise, occasionally revealing towering peaks! Like the sharp teeth of a white devil!
Cleopatra had curled up in Kirk's arms like a kitten. Only in her lover's strong arms could she feel extremely safe and secure.
But Kirk stood at the head of this huge wave, hugged Cleopatra tightly with a calm expression, and activated his skills!
The illusion of Poseidon Neptune appeared in the void, driving a chariot with four sea horses, with 54 plump and beautiful female saints behind him, roaring angrily at the roaring giant wave demon!
This is the roar of Poseidon!
The huge power of Poseidon formed a 2,500-meter-wide whirlpool in the Nile River!
The maelstrom sucks up all the water in the river and discharges it to all directions!
Although the giant white-wave demon is 20 meters high and vows to destroy everything, under the power of Poseidon, it still cannot escape the fate of being scattered and splashed! Neptune angrily waved the Poseidon Trident scepter in his hand and smashed the 20-meter
The huge waves cut off the living creatures!
Kirk stood at the highest point of the breakwater. Like a sea god, he split the huge wave into two. He cut the waves like a god!
The huge vortex dispersed the huge white waves in the air when the shock wave arrived!
The abundant water was thrown into the air by the vortex like a helicopter propeller, like a huge rainstorm!
Octavian and Antony, hiding in high places, watched dumbly as Kirk roared in the Nile, which was as wide as the sea. He chopped the huge waves into two!
The first huge wave was split open by Kirk. The huge waves surged helplessly to both sides, avoiding the breakwater and the city of Alexandria behind it!
Cleopatra looked at her lover longingly, this hand was so beautiful.
But the huge waves behind were even more turbulent, one wave higher than the other. The second wave was as high as 23 meters!
Kirk's expression did not change, he still stood at the head of the tide and continued to command Poseidon to split the wind and waves with a large whirlpool!
Countless huge logs were thrown into the air by Kirk's divine power, and with their own huge speed and impact force, they spun towards the Roman military camps on both sides of the bank!
